Giving Thanks
As Thanksgiving draws near, I believe it’s appropriate for each of us
to pause and focus on the many blessings in our lives.
Presently more than a few members are giving deep thanks for the
blessings of healing and health following surgeries or serious illness.
We certainly give thanks for their recovery as we also hold so very
close those of our families and members who are still struggling to
regain their health and safety.
We hope they know of the many many prayers and good wishes reaching them from our hearts.
I also believe it is appropriate for us at this time to acknowledge the continuing vitality of our
beloved Temple and congregation.
Ever since 1904 and our formal establishment, we have continued to offer regular worship and a
variety of important programs to help strengthen our own understanding of Judaism and Jewish life.
We exemplify the Jewish values of compassion and loving kindness as we carry out faithful acts of
Tikkun Olam, helping our community overcome the ills of society.
Through our gifts to Abraham’s Tent and other charitable causes, we help conquer hunger and
homelessness in our region.
Recently our president George participated in the community interfaith dialogue, giving a most
important and beautiful presentation on the fundamentals of Judaism.
How grateful we can be for the leadership of George and our dedicated volunteers on our board
and committee chair people who work so hard to keep our temple strong and vibrant.
One of my favorite prayers is the “Asher Yatzar.” I have chosen this prayer as my monthly Jewish
Vocabulary Word(s).
I hope the explanation that I give of this most inspirational prayer will be of some help to us all, and
especially to those of us who continue to pray for health and healing for family and members of our
temple.
Most of all, next time we gather in our beautiful sanctuary, I hope as we look about our surroundings
we will recognize that it is no accident that we continue with strength and dynamism as a
dedicated congregation and part of our Reform Jewish Community.

The dedication and commitment of those upon whose shoulders we stand can surely help us in our
own continuing dedication and devotion to keeping our temple strong and dynamic for
generations to come.
I hope your Thanksgiving will serve as a reminder for all the blessings that abound in our lives.
With many blessings,
Rabbi Barry’s Word of the Month: ASHER YATZAR
This most beautiful, inspirational prayer has become so very special to me.
I always appreciated the words of this “B’racha” (Blessing) for years before my severe Aortic
Dissection on Friday the Thirteenth of May, 2016. Upon my truly miraculous recovery from my
Dissection this prayer became one of the most important blessings that I recite daily. Its Hebrew
has become almost part of my Neshama. Each time I recite this most important blessing at
home or in temple, I again thank H’S for my life, for Working through my surgeons and physicians
to rescue me.
The words of this prayer in English:
"Praise to You, Ado—i our G-d,
Sovereign of the universe,
who formed the human body with skill,
creating the body’s many pathways and openings.
It is well known before Your throne of glory
that if one of them be wrongly opened or closed,
it would be impossible to endure and stand before You.
Blessed are You, Ado—i, who heals all flesh, working wondrously.”
(Mishkan T’filah - A Reform Siddur, Central Conference of American Rabbis, New York, 2007, page 194)
The Sinai Messenger November/December 2018 Page 5 of 16
In reciting this prayer, we acknowledge the incredible Wisdom of G-d in giving us our lives, our
bodies. How great must be our Gratitude to the Source of Life for the Wisdom of G-d’s Creation of
our bodies and the sacredness of the manner in which all our organs work together, every minute,
every second of our lives.
In the beautiful commentary of Rabbi Shmuel Kaplan, Director of Chabad-Lubavitch of the
Maryland Region, the concluding words of this blessing, “Umafli laasot,” “working wondrously,” are
treated extensively by the rabbi.
He prefers to translate these concluding wordsas teaching us that “G-d is Wondrous in His
Creation!”
The rabbi helps us remember to always “acknowledge the magnificence of the physical body
G-d has given us.”
In his commentary upon the words “Asher Yatzar,” the actual name of this blessing, Rabbi
Kaplan interprets “Yatzar” to be much more than the word “Formed” might indicate.
Rabbi Kaplan helps us to understand the word “Yatzar” in terms of the virtual Artistry of G-d in
the Creation of our bodies.
Thus the prayer comes to teach us that the Creation of our bodies is actually the result of the
Divine “Artistry” of G-d.”
In many Jewish homes a copy of this prayer is often posted outside the restroom. This reminds
us to gratefully recite these words upon exiting the restroom, thanking G-d for the continuing
wondrous working of all our organs together.
Like all the one hundred blessings we are expected to offer each day, this particular blessing is
our reminder of G-d’s Sacred Presence in our lives every day.
I pray for each and every one of our congregation, our families and friends, that this prayer
can become part of our daily blessings. I especially hold so very close in my heart and my
prayers everyone recovering from surgery and illness, that very very soon the Asher Yatzar will
once again bring its vision of our nearness to the Holy One into our lives with the return of
fullness of health and healing.
“Blessed are You, Ado—i, who heals all flesh, working wondrously.”
May these words come true very very soon for all who are ill. May these words be with each of
us, every day, throughout our lives.
Amen.

From the President’s Desk…
Now that a new year has arrived, I want to use this opportunity to reflect on Yuntif and to thank
a lot of people who put such devoted effort into our High Holidays and everything else in the
month of September.
My thanks to Sandy Desadier for the beautiful gleaming silver! And for the postcards and
printed materials used throughout Yuntif (and indeed throughout the year), and all the
preparations for our oneg following Rosh Hashanah. Thanks to Dan Boitnott for your assistance
with the Memorial Books.
My deepest thanks to Sarah Hodnett and the Temple Sisterhood and everyone who provided
food for our Break the Fast Meal. And especially the ladies who stayed for the cleanup after
Break the Fast. And a special thank you to Bruce and Judy Katz for all the effort behind the
scenes with Sukkot especially. Aided by Harry Kleinman and Joel Davidson, our family dinner
night following our Sukkot celebration was a down-home, informal meal that was a welcome
change from the formality of the High Holidays.
Thanks to all those who served on the bimah this year during Yuntif. And special thanks to
Charles St. Dizier who organized all those numerous honors.
Our courtyard and grounds looked lovely this year thanks to the efforts of Nathan Dondis who
has such a special eye for landscaping. And thank you especially, Nathan, for helping with the
chandeliers in the sanctuary. Changing light bulbs is vertically a real challenge and I
appreciate you doing that for me.
Most of all, thank you Rabbi Barry Weinstein! You guided us through Yuntif with your warmth
and spirituality. Personally, I find so much of Elul and the Days of Awe to be rather difficult.
Forced to think about the year fading into memory and the hope that the year to come
hopefully brings us, the reflection on life and death brings to us a renewed sense of awe to this
existence given to us by G-d.
And in recent weeks, another ISJL visit brought us a new friend to our temple community. Rabbi
Aaron Rozovsky’s visit was great. He was absolutely overwhelmed by our warmth and
hospitality during his visit, and he looks for forward to visiting us again. Once again, thank you
Sandy Desadier for organizing the family dinner night that followed our services on October
19th. And thanks to everyone who brought food, especially Bruce and Judy Katz who found
the recipe and prepared the soup using our leftover corned beef!
We do have something very special at Temple Sinai. That’s because our congregation is very
special—a unique blend of Jews who realize that Jewish community is a part of Jewish identity.
L’shalom! L’chayim!

Dear Temple Sinai,
We are so very, very saddened about the devastating attack on the Tree of Life synagogue
in Pittsburgh. Our hearts reach out to all the members and families of those who perished
and of those who were injured in this horrific attack on the synagogue on this Shabbes
morning.
The leaders of the Union for Reform Judaism and of the Central Conference of American
Rabbis have issued statements of sympathy which reflect the prayers of all of us in the
Jewish community.
May Tree of Life synagogue and all its members know of our shared bereavement and
sorrow for their most historic precious synagogue.
We pray that the Jewish Community of Pittsburg will know that we join with them through
these days in loving prayers.
May all of the mourners be comforted among the mourners in Zion and Jerusalem.
May G-d bring them strength and courage through these extremely sad days.

After the Tragedy at
Tree of Life - Or L'Simcha Synagogue
With broken hearts, and fierce determination, I write on one of the darkest days in
American Jewish history: the first murder of Jews in their own house of worship. We are all
hurting today, and trying to make sense of the horrific and deadly attack on Tree of Life - Or
L'Simcha Synagogue in Pittsburgh.
I share with you my official statement on behalf of the Union for Reform Judaism:
The slaughter of our brothers and sisters praying in their holy synagogue this Shabbat in
Pittsburgh breaks our collective heart.
The murders took place during a prayer service in the Tree of Life congregation where, like
synagogues all around the world, they were reading from Genesis recounting how
Abraham welcomed perfect strangers into his tent. How painful and ironic that we live in a
time when we have to temper our loving welcome of strangers as we protect our
communities from violence and hate.
There is much which is unknown about today’s horrific killings. We will learn more over the
next hours and days. We will continue to work with our nation’s synagogues and other
The rabbis of the Central Conference of American Rabbis are devastated by this
morning’s horrific tragedy at Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh that has resulted in
injury and loss of life. We send our deepest condolences to the families of the victims of
this senseless act of violence, and healing prayers to the injured, as well as our
compassionate concern for the entire Pittsburgh Jewish community. We unite with
American Jews everywhere in mourning this unthinkable anti-Semitic violence, and
stand with all goodhearted Americans against hate of any kind.

houses of worship and law enforcement to enhance security and provide effective
protections for our communities – and our nation.
This time the Jewish community was targeted, in what may be the worst anti-Semitic attack
in American history. Other times it has been African-Americans. Or Sikhs. Or Muslims. Or
members of the LGBTQ community. Or too many others. What we know is this: the fabric
holding our nation together is fraying. It is our task to ensure that it does not come apart.
We mourn as one people along with all people of conscience.
Even as we wait to learn all the brutal facts, we know that we must always keep moving
forward. Of course, we will be in touch regarding actions to take in the days to come.
For now, as you consider how to process the Pittsburgh attacks in your own community,
including how to talk to religious school students about it, we want to share some resources
from the URJ and our partners at the Central Conference of American Rabbis, the
Association of Reform Jewish Educators, NFTY, the Religious Action Center of Reform
Judaism, the National Association for Temple Administration, and others to help you in that
challenging responsibility. These resources will be continually updated as information comes
in.
Praying for Shalom, for peace, for wholeness,
Rabbi Rick Jacobs
President
Jewish Resources for Coping with Acts of Terror
In the wake of senseless and devastating gun violence,
we mourn, we come together, we offer words of
condolence – and we ask how we can prevent these
tragedies from happening again.
As Reform Jews, our task remains: to challenge America's
conscience and to heed the biblical injunction that we
must not stand idly by the blood of our neighbor. Here,
we offer words, prayers, and concrete ways to take
action to prevent gun violence.

Hanukkah: Customs and Rituals
Music
Ma’Oz Tzur (“Rock of Ages”), a Hanukkah song,
traditionally is sung after the lighting of the candles each
night, and at other times throughout the holiday. It was
composed in Europe in the 12th or 13th century.
“I Have a Little Dreidel” is a modern-day children’s song
frequently sung during the Festival of Lights. Other holiday
favorites include “Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah,” “Sivivon, sov,
sov, sov,” a Hebrew folksong, “Light One Candle,” written
by Peter Yarrow, and “The Latke Song,” by Debbie
Friedman, z.’l., the renowned Jewish singer and songwriter.
Ritual Objects
Ritual objects associated with Hanukkah include the menorah and the dreidel.
Menorah is a Hebrew word meaning “candelabrum” and refers to the nine-branched ceremonial
lamp in which the Hanukkah candles are placed and blessed each night of the holiday. The nine
branches include eight branches, one for each day of the holiday, and one branch for the
shamash (helper) candle that is used to light the other candles. In ancient times, oil was used in
the menorah. Over time, candles were substituted for oil. The Hanukkah menorah can also be
called a hanukkiyah.
The word dreidel derives from a German word meaning “spinning top,” and is the toy used in a
Hanukkah game adapted from an old German gambling game. Hanukkah was one of the few
times of the year when rabbis permitted games of chance. The four sides of the top bear four
Hebrew letters: nun, gimmel, hey, and shin. Players begin by putting into a central pot or “kitty” a
certain number of coins, chocolate money known as gelt, nuts, buttons or other small objects.
Each player in turn spins the dreidel and proceeds as follows: nun – take nothing; gimmel – take
everything; hey – take half; shin – put one in.
Over time, the letters on the dreidel were reinterpreted to stand for the first letter of each word in
the Hebrew statement “Neis gadol hayah sham,” which means “A great miracle happened there”
and refers to the defeat of the Syrian army and the re-dedication of the Temple. In Israel, one
letter on the dreidel differs from those used in the rest of the world. The shin has been replaced
with a pey, transforming the Hebrew statement into Neis gadol hayah po, which means“A great
miracle happened here.”
Food
Latkes (potato pancakes) and sufganiyot (jelly donuts)—foods cooked in oil—are traditionally
eaten during Hanukkah and serve as a symbol of the legend of the jar of oil that lasted for eight
days. In Israel, pastry shops specialize in creating delicious and creative sufganiyot.
The Sinai Messenger November/December 2018 Page 12 of 16
Worship
Worship services held during Hanukkah include the al hanissim (“for the miracles”) passage in the
Amidah (the central prayer in worship, recited while standing) and in Birkat HaMazon(the blessing
after meals). The Torah reading for each day of Hanukkah is taken from Numbers 6:22-8:4, which
recounts the dedication of the mishkan (temporary, moveable place of worship) by the Israelites
in the desert. On Shabbat during Hanukkah, we read the regular weekly portion.During the Festival
of Lights, the Haftarah readings, additional selections from the Prophetic books, are Zechariah 4:1-
7 and I Kings 7:40-50.
At Home
Hanukkah, a holiday primarily celebrated at home, begins on the 25th day of the Hebrew month
of Kislev and is observed for eight days. In the Talmud, the rabbis taught that the mitzvah of
Hanukkah, the commandment at the heart of the observance of the holiday, is a “candle for
each man and his household.” Hence, the actual mitzvah, or commandment, of Hanukkah is to
kindle the Hanukkah lights in one’s home. Blessings are recited over lighting the candles. One
candle is lit for each night. The candle for the first night is put on the right side of the eight-
branched menorah. On each subsequent night, an additional candle is placed to the immediate
left of the previous night’s candle, and the candles are lit from left to right, so that the kindling
begins with the newest light. Since these lights are holy, it is forbidden to make practical use of
them; therefore, a special shamash (helper) candle is used to light the others. In some families,
each member of the household, including the children, lights his or her own Hanukkah menorah.
Many families use the eight-day period of Hanukkah to spend time together each night. Another
mitzvah of Hanukkah is pirsum hanes, the public proclamation of the miraculous events that
transpired in the days of the Maccabees. A number of features of Hanukkah observance are
connected with this requirement. The Hanukkah lights are lit at sundown, the time when passers-by
are most likely to see them. When possible, the menorah is placed in a window or elsewhere in the
home so that it can be seen from the outside. This custom is especially prevalent in Israel, where
cities and towns hold public menorah-lighting ceremonies and the entire country is full of candles,
bright with the celebration of the Festival of Lights.
Blessings and Candle Lighting
Any member or members of the family may chant or recite the blessings. One person lights and
holds the shamash, the blessings are pronounced, and then the candles are lit (from left to right, so
that the kindling begins with the newest light).
Two blessings are chanted or recited every night of Hanukkah. The first is a blessing over the
candles themselves. The second blessing expresses thanks for the miracle of deliverance. A third
blessing—the Shehecheyanu prayer, marking all joyous occasions in Jewish life—is chanted or
recited only on the first night.
